Bone-Eating Dragons

Bone-Eating Dragons are Thrashing Dragons of the Eastern direction. They are scholars of dying and the heartbeat's ebb. These Kuei-jin are often compared to those who follow the dharma of the Song of Shadow, but the difference is the Bone Flowers study the state of death, while the Bone-Eating Dragons study the process of dying. The cold, Yin-aligned Bone Flowers are not at all like these, as they are great predators who love the feeling of life ending between their jaws, but like the Bone Flowers they are scholars, very diverse scholars. Some will conduct their learning in temples, studies or even - slaughterhouses.

The Kuei-jin are often at odds with the ghosts of the ancestors of whom they kill and often have to defend themselves and their dharma against them. They are known to fall to an imbalance of yin, and through this they fall prey to a sickness called corpse-kissing fever, a permanent yin imbalance that results in the Bone-Eating Dragon to become sexually attracted to the dying and dead it has been studying. The fever is considered very distasteful among the Kuei-jin.
